i was thinking about this whole 1500 calorie daily intake, as i actually need to eat more.
but when i look at how much food that needs to be consumed to meet those requirements healthily, i just don't think i could eat that much, because for about nearly two years now i've been on a very restricted diet to loose weight, eating one healthy meal a day, along with fruit in the morning and some days i would have nuts/trail mix for a snack in the afternoon, but never ate past 5 pm.
i know it's probably not the most "heathiest" way to loose weight, but it worked, i lost 17 kilo's -gradually- .. now im getting below my personal weight prefrence and am starting to get concerned.
i've been to the doctor and have been told i need to gain 6 kilo's to be heathy for my height.
i did start to develop a mild eating disorder, but am currently working on getting my mind back to a healthier way of thinking.
so anyway, i currently consume under 1000 calories a day, sometimes under 700, sometimes more..
it's not that i choose to, it's just the way things go.
im trying to stay close to the 800-900 at the moment, but it doesnt seem to be helping and i keep loosing weight.
and i've read everywhere saying 1200-1500 is a good calorie intake.. but i have no idea how i could do that.. as i've been like this for so long now
but on even a more complicated note, i dont want to gain weight either.. i kind of just want to maintain it.
any advice?
